Punishments

One of my RPG characters had another one of those mental breakdowns ...sort of. Afterwards I decided to play it in a way that it wasn't that big a deal and blame the sudden fleeing on another character's (misinterpretable) actions

I sort of have the feeling we've gone through this a lot, actually. XD

To me "he" sounds like forcing male on something, so it's just as bad. :P Of course, biology sort of is on the female side there, since female is the base form and all.
Anyway, I use the "ey, em, eir" set. That's the most natural one in my opinion.

In Finnish we call even people colloquially "it". If someone uses "hän" (ey!) of an animal, it's weird, I look down on it and it shouldn't be used in official text and so on. I usually do it similarly in English unless the sex of the animals is relevant.

I just don't understand why some people like to refer to their genitals when speaking of them. I mean, ew.

Oops... damn English. What I wanted to say was: I don't understand why some languages think it fitting to refer to a person's external sexual characteristics when using a pronoun of em. That, to me, is very rude. I don't like my genitals to be spoken to, I rather the people talking to ME

I think the issue was about an older kid, like school age or something. I really can't say for sure...
